Questions

Now go back to the start of the chain. Use evidence from the pages you have read.

1. Using all four links, explain how "the people against the enemy" was used from 1848 to 2017.

2. Is that idea dangerous in itself, or does it depend on who is named as the enemy and what a movement does once it has power? Use evidence from at least two links.

3. Laibach and Occupy both made their point through what they did, not what they declared. Compare the two. Did refusing to explain themselves help or hurt each one?

4. Agree or disagree, and give a reason: "Occupy held one park for two months and changed no laws, but it made 'the 1%' the everyday name for the super-rich, and politicians still use it fifteen years later."
